Haha probably will just to be nice and professional since I'm getting a press badge also (like I'm a reporter or something lol), but Nate and the rest of the staff are the ones I would like to meet. I think we're supposed to go and eat lunch with the producer, Nate, and some other's friday. Should be fun. Maybe I can talk them into lettin me do some arm drops and show rich how to ride a motorcycle

Well somebody needs to show Rich how to flag the start of a drag race,like they used to do it back in the day ,before they had the christmas tree . Anyway, as dorkie as he is you have to give him credit for the show & the interest it has provided for our sport. Besides, he's probably an up-right dude . If the show gains a little more in popularity it won't be long before Rich will be on the Tonight Show with Leno.

Well it is a good thing that they're doing. They're trying to get racing off of the streets and show everyone that you can bet at the track just like you can on the street and be legal without hurting yourself or anyone else. Like I said, it's a good thing, but there will always be racing on the street. Rich is bald and hyper and that doesn't work, plus he is dorkish, but I do agree on him probably being a good guy.

how did it run after the descreening and taking out the wires? i heard that if you even wiggle those wires around to much, you car will not run any better due to the fact they read off of vibrations... is this true? i guess youll find out!

well, got tuned. car made 427rwhp and 436rwtq(uncorrected) Corrected #'s are 431rwhp and 440rwtq. Car evidently has a bad right bank o2 sensor i didnt know about. And i have a small amount of blow by in cylinder #4. Other than that, went great. Stephen KNOWS HIS ****. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to get a dyno tune. Great guy i must say. Owns a 800rwhp twin turbo 04 goat. And blown 383 was there getting his injectors tuned. His car made 63xrwhp!! Probably would have made more if they could get a descent run on it and not bust the damn tires loose on the dyno!! I wish i had that problem lol. I will post some charts tomorrow night if i can figure out how to use this new copier/scanner/fax i got here. But i must say, i was sceptacle at first going to stephen. Never heard of him. He did a bang up job on my car, runs great, holds a good idle. And even having a bad o2 he still tuned it really close. I just have to go back after some new o2's. Said the car still had maybe another 20rwhp in it, but i got a "safe tune", i didnt want the car running on edge, it is my daily driver. Runs just a hair rich due to the fact the sensor was out and he couldnt nail the tune dead on. Car runs i would say about 99% driveability wise like it did before the cam. I can tell you, i wont be going down south for dyno tunes after meeting this guy.

^^^ I second that he does a great job. He pulled some timing out of mine after the 638hp @ 5200 run where it broke the tires loose and said there was alot left but it is a safe tune and I can't hook it anyway, lol. Was yours louder than mine?
